Abstract:
Objective To report effects of microsurgical treatment for tumors in cervical spinal canal. Methods A total of 32 cases of tumors in cervical spinal canal had received microneurosurgery through a posternmedial approach. 22 cases had received reconstruction of cervical spinal canal stability. Results A total tumor resection was performed in 26 cases (81.25%),a subtotal tumor resection was conducted in 6 cases(18.75%). A cemplete recovery was achieved in 23 cases(71.88%), an improvement of symptoms was achieved in 6 cases(18.75%), and no improvement in 3 cases(9.38%), no death was encountered. Follow up observations were carded out in 30 cases for 3 months to 3 years. MRI examinatious 3 months after operation in 26 cases found no residual or recurrent tumor,recurrence was seen in 3cases of astrocytoma, 1 case was invariable. X-ray radiography in 26 cases showed good vertebral stability ,spinal deformation was found in 4 eases. Conclusion Microsurgery in early period play a key role in treatment of cervical spinal tumors. Reconstruction of spinal canal stability is important to patients.
